Becoming a Runner: Part 2 (and 6 things to get you there)!

Last week I explored my early foray into this running life. This week we will jump ahead to the here and now, as I train for my first marathon. I have been steadily running for 10 years now, and have…

Home Stretch Training Run

My final over 20 mile run was crazy hard, but better than I had expected. I was coming off a week of “weather”, with blowing snow and cold temps (in mid-April) so I was missing a few of my runs.…

Rest Weeks are Good…Right??

Resting our bodies is an important part of training. This past week was a [simple_tooltip content='when training for a race, a week that you do less mileage to rest your body']recovery week[/simple_tooltip] according to the marathon training plan I am using…

I’m Sherry, a 56 year-old runner (hence the wrinkled!) who has gone from running as exercise to loving the sport. I started around 17 years ago when a magazine article proclaimed that in your 40’s its “Welcome to back fat”! I took a look and lo and behold...there it was!! I determined then to lose 30 pounds and thus started my running “journey”...or torture. At first I could walk a mile, run a mile, walk a mile and gradually (verrrrry gradually) worked up to a half marathon.

I have now completed 3 marathons and 6 half marathons. I talk about my training, and also share the things I am learning as I go along. I have found so many helpful resources as I explore and grow as a runner and can't wait to pass them on to you!

I am a mom to 5 children (all married) and grandma (Nani) of 7. My partner in everything is my husband of 36 years, Dave.

I also have a YouTube channel, and Podcast.

In 2019 I attended a RRCA Coaching Certification course and successfully completed the steps to become a run coach. The main reason I did this was to learn more about running and how to set up my own training and to have confidence about the information I am providing on this website and on YouTube.

Although my passion is running, I am also a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. When I coach, I add strength training specifically for running. I also provide Personal Training services for those who are not runners. Check out my Coaching Services if you are interested.
